Artificial Intelligence and In Extremis Decision-Making

Time pressure, limited information, confusion, fatigue, and mortality salience combine to set the stage for decision-making errors, sometimes with grave consequences. An example is the downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by a missile launched by the USS Vincennes in 1988, resulting in the death of 290 passengers and crew. In a time of heightened tension between the U.S. and Iran, the captain of the Vincennes misidentified the airliner as an incoming hostile aircraft and ordered his crew to shoot it down.

Critical Thinking Erosion: A Hidden Threat to Security Career Resilience

Organizations traditionally approach security risk through a narrow lens, often equating "security" primarily with cybersecurity. While cybersecurity is critically important, it represents only one subset of a much broader security landscape. Cybersecurity focuses on the protection of technologies that collect, store, process and transmit data. By contrast, security-related risk encompasses all forms of loss arising from the failure to protect organizational assets.

Against cleverness

Today we are at the cusp of revolutions in artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, renewable energy, and biotechnology. Each brings extraordinary promise, but each introduces more complexity, more interdependence, and more latent pathways to failure. This elevates prudence to be critical. Good design recognizes what cannot be foreseen. It acknowledges the limits of prediction and control. It builds not merely for performance, but for recovery.
